They turn the spotlight on 1975 and bring into focus city centre memories as well as reflections from around the suburbs with Meanwood, Woodhouse, Headingley, Bramley, Kirkstall Road all featured. The images are a mix from the YEP archive and others published courtesy of photographic archive Leodis, which is run by Leeds Library & Information Service.
